We're dividing 888836 by 42 
We want to figure out the number of times 888836 can be divided by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 88 / 42

On to step 2:
42 goes into 88 2 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 84 from 88 leaves us with 4.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
48 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 6.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Deduct 42 from 48 and we're left with 6.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 68 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
42 can be fit into 68 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 211.0
If we subtract 42 from 68, we get 26.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 263 / 42

On to step 5:
If we divide 263 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2116.0
Deduct 252 from 263 and we're left with 11.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 116 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 116 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21162.0
Deduct 84 from 116 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 21162.7
Subtracting 294 from 320 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
260 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21162.76
If we take 252 away from 260, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 9:
42 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21162.761
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 42 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 380 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 21162.7619
Deduct 378 from 380 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 11:
42 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21162.7619
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 200 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21162.761904
Subtracting 168 from 200 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 320 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21162.7619047
Deduct 294 from 320 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 260 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21162.76190476
Subtract 252 from 260 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 21162.76190476 with a balance of 8e-09.
